Again, I'm curious. I asked a question here about what I guess ended up being a typo in the story above, as it has now been corrected. It appears my question/comment was deleted? Is that how the comment section is going to be run? Perfectly fine if so, just seems like a moderator is deciding what should be here and what shouldn't.
It would be great if they would partner up similarly with Edelweiss - lots of unique and interesting leisure routes!
@ hotintx -- Indeed it was a typo, so I fixed the typo and deleted the comment so as not to cause confusion among other readers who may seen the comment (given the accidental Australia reference). I figured the intent was to give me a heads up to fix it, so my apologies if that wasn't the case.
@ Ben - no worries at all. Just didn't know what was going on.
@ Steve - I could care less if my comment was/is deleted. Was simply seeing if that was the case. If the comments are going to be moderated and removed I'm perfectly fine with that (especially in this case). I was simply asking if it was SOP for the board. However, your comment did bring a lot to it. Maybe it should be deleted as well?

The comments are moderated to follow the science and combat white supremacy and systemic racism, which exist all around us like the air we breathe (see "miasma theory"), especially in premium cabins.
I've found the service on Air Dolomiti to be much more pleasant than on Lufthansa. It's a shame they don't fly more routes.
Air Dolomiti is interesting - very Italian despite the Lufthansa ownership. I'm guessing it's perhaps remained a separate entity to keep the Italian government happy? I had the chance to fly their business class from Frankfurt to Florence a few years back. Incredible experience - fantastic Italian antipasti salad, fresh bread, multiple wine options, good coffee and dessert on such a short flight. I can't imagine how much money they lose, however - I've never seen so many working FAs on a such a short flight. And amenity kits on short intra-EU flight?
Am I missing/misreading something here: "While there will be no carrier imposed surcharges, the standard 39 CAD partner booking fee will apply" - but then your screenshot shows +114CAD on every option...?
@ Peter -- Those are actual airport taxes and fees, which are unfortunately often quite high in Europe.
Air Dolimiti even hands out Business Class Amenity Kits on 2h flights. Not sure if this is still the case.
